How can I verify my setup is correctly configured without sipomatic? I've never used that app, and never even heard of it, actually. Meanwhile, I've used linphone for years and years. > 2.

If I want to know if any one of you is on linphone, is the only way for > me to find that out to email you first? Well, you'll see my SIP address in my signature block. Please feel free to call me and test your setup out. PS: In case you missed it, you may prefer using the console SIP client with Speakup (or brltty) instead of the rather clumsy graphical client with Orca. I say the graphical client is clumsy because you have to navigate around a 12-key keypad to actuate dtmf. That's much easier in the console, for instance: To launch the console app: linphonec To see the various commands: help Example of a help command you should look at before calling: help soundcard Hopefully, you're going to use something like a USB headset, rather than trying to rely on your case microphone and speakers. The above command will show you how to set that.
